Association of healthy diet score and adiposity with risk of colorectal cancer: findings from the UK Biobank prospective cohort study

CONCLUSION: Adiposity-mediated effects were limited in the link between dietary patterns and CRC incidence, implying that solely addressing adiposity may not sufficiently reduce CRC risk. Interventions, such as improving dietary quality in people with adiposity or promoting weight control in those with unhealthy eating habits, may provide an effective strategy to reduce CRC risk.PMID:38693451 | DOI:10.1007/s00394-024-03418-7
